Hello,
Today I was outside with my sons and my large, over 100 pound, sulcata "urinated" a large amount of thick white substrate. I know that this is what their urea usually looks like, but in this case it was thicker than normal. I live in Arizona so obviously it is very hot and dry here, but it has never been an issue in the past. After I saw this I gave him a really long soaking and made him drink some water. Guessing he just needed a good soaking and to get soaked a little more, but thought I would get opinions.
Thanks

Does your tortoise always have a water dish that can easily be climbed into and out of in the shade? It sounds like he needs more access to water and soaking.
